Quatra

Thinking globally, acting locally

Quatra has evolved from a local fat collector into an international company, delivering, collecting and recycling cooking oils and fats.  

Currently, we can call ourselves the European market leader: more than 100,000 clients such as chip shops, restaurants, catering businesses, mass-catering kitchens, industrial firms and shipping companies entrust us with their oil collection and delivery. 

The exponential growth of the company is the result of years of experience and specialization, the focus on service and flexibility, sustainable entrepreneurship and an innovative recycling process.

Efficient complete service

Are you one of the +100,000 catering companies, chains and businesses working with Quatra? As a customer you benefit from our international network and local depots in all the countries where we operate. This means you enjoy a full service: we respond flexibly to all your requests, deliver new fats and oils and collect your used fats and oils. Always within 48 hours or, if it's really urgent, even within 24 hours. And thanks to our own processing procedure you receive a rebate for your used cooking oils and fats, the highest in the UK.

Clean, tidy and respectful  

Oil and fat can cause quite a mess and that's why we believe in being clean. When we come for a collection we will replace your full tanks with clean empty ones. This is done with the due care and respect for your business. We also train our drivers to provide an optimal service and they always wear a clean and recognisable Quatra outfit when they visit. 

Sustainable recycling into innovative biofuel

All fats and oils that we collect from you are recycled and transformed into renewable energy. In doing so we make a big contribution to the European Green Deal, which aims to make Europe carbon neutral by 2050.

We also keep the delivery and collection of your oils and fats as climate neutral as possible. We combine them in 1 truck. Think green: 1 ride = 2 services.

Sustainable waste processing

Quatra will collect used cooking oils and fats and recycle them into sustainable biofuel. We do this in a nearly 100% automated recycling process that meets the strictest standards.

Nothing is wasted: 100% recycling

Quatra believes in recuperating 100% energy from waste:

We recycle cooking oil into the raw material for sustainable fuels.

The frying residues form the basis for biogas.

The other waste streams, such as plastic, we wash and sort, and will then be sent for recycling.

What happens to the oil collected?

After processing, the cooking oils and fats we collect go to partner companies. They convert this waste oil into sustainable biofuels (sustainable aviation fuel SAF and sustainable biodiesel) that emit 90% less CO₂ compared to fossil fuels.

The frying residues form the basis for biogas, and the other waste streams such as plastic we wash and sort, and will then be sent for recycling. So Quatra recycles everything – nothing goes to the landfill.

Efficient and climate neutral collection service

From the collection of your blue drums to the processing into sustainable biofuel: all the steps in the processing of your cooking fats and oils are carried out as efficiently and climate-neutrally as possible. We schedule our collection trucks' journeys so they do not have to travel unnecessary distances. At your request, we will combine the collection of your used cooking oil or fat with the delivery of your fresh cooking oil or fat. This also reduces our own CO₂ emissions.

Together for a carbon neutral Europe by 2050

Climate change and environmental degradation threaten Europe and the world. In order to help meet these challenges, Quatra is throwing its weight behind the European Green Deal.

Thanks to our sustainable management and maximum reuse of vegetable fats and oils, we are playing a crucial role in making Europe carbon neutral by 2050. The EU rewarded us for this with an ISCC certificate.
